The Israeli military claims it has killed more than 1,400 Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated on March 2.
They include hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, according to the IDF.
Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli attacks have killed over 1,800 people since the war began, including over 300 on Wednesday alone.
The IDF says it has also destroyed some 4,300 Hezbollah “terror infrastructures” and seized more than 1,000 weapons during ground operations in southern Lebanon.
In the past day, the Israeli Air Force hit 120 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon “to remove threats to the forces,” the IDF adds.
